The Plano Market Square Mall was built in 1983 and was originally named the Outlet Mall of Americas.  In 2020, Triten Real Estate Partners presented a plan revolving around a mixed-use concept that was centered on a large community park. The plan included opportunities for creative office space, retail and restaurants, urban-styled apartment living, a central park that would feature modern outdoor seating, lawn games, event space for fitness, live music, and movie screenings, a dog park, and an area devoted to young children and families. The plan was unanimously approved by both Plano Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council and at this moment Assembly Park was born.
